FAQs
The application was advertised via signs on each street frontage of the subject site and letters sent to property owners and residents within a 200m radius. The City engaged with the broader public via the City of Melville website.
The City will assess the proposal against the relevant planning provisions of City of Melville Local Planning Scheme No. 6 and relevant state and local planning policies.
At the completion of the assessment a Responsible Authority Report (RAR) will be prepared by the City’s planning officers and sent to the JDAP to assist it in making a final decision. The City is not the decision maker of this application.
The development cost is $16.2 million and the application is to be determined by the Metro Inner South Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP).
For more information on Development Assessment Panels please refer to this link.
As per the City of Melville’s Local Planning Policy 1.1 – Planning Process and Decision Making, all complex developments are required to be advertised for a period of 28 days to all properties within a 200m radius.
The RAR submitted to the JDAP will provide a summary of the submissions received during the public consultation period. The submissions and the officer response to these will then be considered by the DAP as part of its decision making process.
